The Lantern Festival, which has been passed down for more than two thousand years, is the "carnival" of the Chinese nation.


  February 9th is the traditional Lantern Festival. Folklore experts said that as one of the important traditional festivals in China, the Lantern Festival has a history of more than 2,000 years, and its excitement can be called the "carnival" of the Chinese nation.


  Zhao Zhi Heng, an expert in Tianjin folklore, said that according to the China lunar calendar, the same date of the sun and the moon’s yellow meridian is the first day of January, when the sun, the moon and the earth are generally in a straight line. The first month is January, and the ancients called the night "Xiao". The fifteenth day of January is the first full moon night in the traditional lunar year, so it is called the Lantern Festival, also known as "Shangyuan Festival".


  According to the folk tradition in China, on the festival night in spring returns, the moon is high in the sky, and there are thousands of lanterns on the ground. People watch lanterns, solve riddles on the lanterns, eat Yuanxiao and have a family reunion, which makes them happy.


  Wang Sichao, a researcher at Purple Mountain Observatory of Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that Lantern Festival has a history of at least 2,000 years in China. Legend has it that after the Western Han Dynasty put down the "Zhulu Rebellion", Emperor Wen of Han deeply felt that peace and prosperity were hard-won, so he designated the fifteenth day of the first month of the rebellion as the day of having fun with the people.


  Emperor Han Ming of East China advocated Buddhism. He heard that monks lit lamps to worship Buddha on the fifteenth day of the first month of Buddhism, so he ordered the palace temples to light lamps to worship Buddha that night, and ordered the gentry and ordinary people to hang lamps. Since then, the Lantern Festival has gradually formed a grand festival.


  Folklore experts say that New Year’s Eve and the first day of the first month are traditionally celebrated by families, while the Lantern Festival is about going out of the house to have fun with the whole world, which is the only festival with "noisy" as its core content. As the saying goes, "the fifteenth day of the first month is noisy." The word "Noisy" shows the exultation and excitement of the Lantern Festival, and also shows the differences between the Lantern Festival and other festivals.


  Folklore experts say that Lantern Festival is popular, and fireworks are also indispensable. In addition to lights, more prominent activities are all kinds of community fires, such as lion dancing, dragon lantern playing, roller boating, walking on stilts, drum beating and yangko dancing, which are played every year and are popular. The Lantern Festival can be said to be a carnival in China. Its customs and activities are more varied and colorful in traditional festivals in China.

Besides eating Lantern Festival lanterns, what other customs are there in all parts of our province? Some things you can’t think of

Today is the fifteenth day of the first month, and the Lantern Festival comes as scheduled. In ancient Chinese, "Yuan" is the beginning, "Xiao" is the night, and "Yuanxiao" is the first full moon night after the beginning of Yuan. Lantern Festival has a long history. As early as the Western Han Dynasty, Lantern Festival has become a major festival.
As a part of the Spring Festival, Lantern Festival is also a chain festival. In terms of length, it was one day in Han Dynasty, three days in Tang Dynasty, and five days in Song Dynasty. In Ming Dynasty, the lights were lit from the eighth day of the eighth month until the night of the seventeenth day of the first month, for ten days. Tang Yin, a poet in the Ming Dynasty, wrote in his poem Yuanxiao: "In spring, people are like jade, and lights burn the moon like silver next month." By the Qing Dynasty, the Lantern Festival in various places had added "hundred plays" such as dragon dancing, lion dancing, roller boating, walking on stilts and yangko dancing, but the festival period was shortened to three to four days, starting from the 14th day of the first month and ending on the 16th.
Two hundred years ago, in Jinan Prefecture, the Lantern Festival was celebrated like this: "Put on lanterns, set off fireworks, and make sugar rounds. Try the lamp (wheat on the 14th, main valley on the 15th, main beans on the 16th), and it will be a good year when the moon is bright and windy. After trying to spread the doors, it is called’ scattered lights’ and floating in the running water, which is called’ river lights’. "
In all parts of Shandong, in addition to the traditional eating dumplings, watching lanterns, watching zaju and setting off river lanterns, "Walking Hundred Diseases" has also been a distinctive folk activity since the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Someone once wrote a poem: "Old and young are happy to call each other, and when they leave, there will be no diseases in the world." This activity is held in some areas on the 15th of the first month, but mostly on the 16th. On this day, women dressed in festive costumes walked out of their homes and crossed the bridge in droves. In some areas, they went to Confucian temples, temples, and some boarded city walls or pavilions until midnight. Little girls play with skipping rope on this day, which is called "jumping a hundred ropes".
In the old days, women in Texas boarded the south gate and walked to the temple pavilion. As the saying goes, "Climbing the city is easy." Longkou women must cross the crescent bridge in Xiguan when they are ill. In Boshan, people who suffer from sores and gangrene will gather Ai Wei on the 16th night of the first month to roast the stone lion in front of the county office, which is called "Treating Diseases". Men, women and children in the rural areas of Juxian county should take a walk in the wild on this day, which is called "walking the old face". It is said that walking once a year can keep the old face.
These three places have the most unique custom of "walking away from all diseases": in Juancheng, people go for a walk outside the village early in the morning, and even ride cows, horses, donkeys and mules to run on the road, which is called "running for a hundred times", and the proverb says: "running once, never seeing old", which is similar to the custom of "walking old" in Juxian. In some places, people climb high and overlook, some go to the tomb of Lin to moxibustion Weng Zhong, and some people moxibustion clothes at home, which is called "moxibustion for all diseases".
In Laowei County (now Weicheng District), "Walking All Diseases" is more distinctive. On the 16th day of the first month, women went to the Zhenwu Temple in the northeast corner of the city to offer incense, and then touched the wooden tiger that Zhenwu Emperor accompanied Zhao Xuantan, commonly known as the "old cat". It is said that touching an old cat will not cause illness for a year. In front of the shrine court, two stone men were moxibustion. It is said that moxibustion on the stone old man and the stone woman did not produce sores for a year, which is collectively called "running old cat". The "Wei County Zhuzhi Ci" included in the "Wei County Records Draft" compiled in 1941 said: "The Xinzheng Festival began after the Lantern Festival, and the old cats ran in the city; In order to be disease-free for a year, Ai Xiang fought to burn the stone man. "
In Gaomi and other places, on the 16th day of the first month, the stalks of trees and grasses are in the shape of a meandering Yellow River, and children are running in a maze-like passage, which is called "running the Yellow River". People in Zoucheng will go to the Kangxi Monument Pavilion in Mengmiao on the 16th day of the first month to touch the tablet. There is a proverb in the local area: "If you touch the head of the tablet, you will never know how to worry;" Touching the donkey will never make you ill. "
In Tengzhou ancient city one hundred years ago, the gates were not closed during the Lantern Festival, and the lights in the city shone as bright as day. Dragon lanterns, lions, clouds, flower boats, bamboo horses, stilts, and the Eight Immortals are all zaju, dancing and singing, boasting and fighting, and fireworks, fireworks, rockets, mud-nest flowers, iron-tube flowers, etc., or flowers or rings, all at once, which are very lively. From 14th to 16th, everyone climbed the city wall, went to the temple to burn incense, and the officials did not forbid it.
Whether eating glutinous rice balls, watching zaju, setting off river lanterns or walking away from all diseases, the Lantern Festival is painted with a thick humanistic background with the help of ceremonies. On the first full moon night in the New Year, facing the moon god who is in charge of drought, flood, wind and hail, it is natural for our ancestors to use various rituals to pray for a bumper harvest and good health in the New Year, and fire has become the best way to communicate with the gods and people. At dusk, they prayed and blessed around the fire, and the clouds soared to communicate with people and gods. Year after year, the years are so long. In these seemingly superstitious and somewhat reasonable ceremonies, the Lantern Festival was born and passed on in the interpretation …

Cloud perspective | Don’t be silly and confused whether to eat Yuanxiao or Tangyuan on Lantern Festival.

the Lantern Festival

Gain three pounds every holiday.

After eating and drinking during the Spring Festival

The second round of the festival "Lantern Festival" is coming again.

Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month

In the Lantern Festival, people watch lanterns and solve riddles on the lanterns.

And have a family reunion to eat Yuanxiao.

It means sweet New Year reunion.

as the proverb goes

Eating yuanxiao in the north

South chi dumplings

Lantern Festival? Tangyuan?

Why do the north and the south eat differently?

Are they one thing?

In fact, glutinous rice dumplings and Yuanxiao are both snow-white spheres filled with glutinous rice. Tracing back to the source, they are the same thing.

The custom of eating glutinous rice balls began in the Song Dynasty, but in the process of evolution, the differences in production techniques between the north and the south gradually formed two names.

"Roll" Yuanxiao in the North

When people in the north make Yuanxiao, they first knead the stuffing into a uniform ball, put it in a laundry basket covered with dry glutinous rice flour and shake it constantly. From time to time, water is added to make the stuffing stick more and more glutinous rice flour until the stuffing is covered with glutinous rice flour and rolled into a ball.

Because of this, Yuanxiao can be eaten in a variety of ways. Such as frying or steaming.

Yuanxiao tastes strong on the skin, and the stuffing is chewy. The boiled soup will be thicker, which is a bit like drinking rice soup.

The method of making glutinous rice balls is a bit like making steamed stuffed buns. First, glutinous rice flour is added with water to form balls, which are left for several hours. Then, the stuffing is mixed evenly and put in a container for later use, and it is not necessary to cut into small pieces. The water content of glutinous rice balls is more than that of Yuanxiao, and the wet glutinous rice flour is very sticky. You can only pull a small ball of wet noodles by hand, squeeze it into a round shape, pick a ball of stuffing and put it on the glutinous rice slices, and then turn around with both hands to make glutinous rice balls. The fillings of glutinous rice balls are sweet and salty, and there are meat and vegetables. In many places, pork, ham and shrimp are also used as fillings.

Tangyuan has a smooth skin and a delicate taste. Because there is a lot of water in the stuffing, the stuffing will flow out like quicksand at the moment when it is bitten. Besides, the soup cooked with glutinous rice balls is clearer than Yuanxiao.

In addition, the storage of Yuanxiao can’t be frozen, but it can only be cooked and eaten now, and it can’t be stored for a long time (it will crack if it is kept for a long time, and the same is true for cold storage), while the dumplings must be frozen.

In fact, no matter whether you eat Yuanxiao or Tangyuan, although there are differences in form, the moral you want to express is the same, that is, round and round, round and full.

A little more knowledge

Yuanxiao is delicious, but some people should not eat more.

Diabetic patients: The sugar content of Yuanxiao is high. If patients covet the delicious food, their blood sugar will rise sharply, which will not only aggravate their illness, but also induce ketoacidosis.

Patients with ulcer disease: Eating Yuanxiao can increase gastric acid secretion, aggravate the stimulation to ulcer surface, and even induce gastric bleeding and gastric perforation in severe cases.

Gastrointestinal dysfunction: Yuanxiao is made of glutinous rice flour, which is sticky and difficult to digest. After eating, it can lead to stomach pain, bloating, belching, acid reflux and even diarrhea.

Patients with acute gastroenteritis: the gastrointestinal tract is in a state of congestion and edema. Patients should eat digestible foods such as rice soup and lotus root starch. Eating Yuanxiao will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract.

Patients with high fever: The gastrointestinal tract of patients is relatively inhibited when they have fever, so they should eat some easily digestible food such as liquid food, otherwise it will aggravate the condition.

Patients with hypertension, hyperlipidemia and gout: These patients are in danger of aggravating their condition by eating Yuanxiao, so it is advisable to eat less.

Early recovery from a long illness: At this time, although the patient’s appetite has improved, his digestive function is still weak, and excessive consumption of Yuanxiao is not conducive to recovery.

Old and infirm people: these people have decreased digestive function and lost teeth, especially the old people’s swallowing reflex is relatively slow, which may cause the Lantern Festival to get stuck in the throat due to rapid swallowing, leading to breathing difficulties and even suffocation and death.

Infants and young children: Children’s digestive function is weak, and their swallowing reflex has not been fully developed. Therefore, when eating Yuanxiao, you should not eat it whole, but divide it into a quarter, and then eat the second bite after eating one bite. You must chew slowly to prevent accidents.

People whose digestive function has not recovered after "Yangkang": It is also not suitable to eat more Yuanxiao, otherwise it will aggravate their own basic diseases and bring about adverse reactions such as abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, acid reflux and heartburn.

"Sixteen full moons on the 15th" is still the annual "minimum full moon".

On the Lantern Festival, it is the right time to enjoy the moon. According to astronomical science experts, the Lantern Festival in Guimao Year of the Rabbit "the 16th Moon of the 15th" is still the annual "minimum full moon".

"Because the moment of’ looking’ in the first month of Guimao Year of the Rabbit appears at 2: 29 on February 6, the Lantern Festival in the Year of the Rabbit is’ the 16th Moon of the 15th’." Xiu Lipeng, a member of the Chinese Astronomical Society and director of the Tianjin Astronomical Society, said.

This round of the most round Lantern Festival is a bit special. It is not only the first full moon in the year of Guimao Rabbit, but also the smallest full moon in 2023.

How to appreciate this round of Lantern Festival full moon? "The moment of’ looking’ takes place in the early hours of the morning, and the public who intend to enjoy the moon can watch and shoot about two hours after sunset on the 5th. At this time, although the moon is not the roundest, it is almost the same as the roundest moment, and it has just risen and looks very big. It is not only suitable for naked eye appreciation, but also very suitable for taking photos with the ground landscape. " Xiu Lipeng suggested.

It is also the world’s largest wool spinning enterprise and high-end suit production base, and "Sunshine Products" has frequently appeared in major national events and important occasions.
In the face of the ever-developing new situation, Sunshine Group always insists on taking economic construction as the central task, leading the development of enterprises with party building, and effectively improving the operation quality of party affairs construction in enterprises. All party member cadres have built a solid foundation of faith, supplemented the calcium of the spirit, stabilized the rudder of thought, and turned their initial heart and mission into.Pioneering, innovative, insatiable spirit and cooperation, dare to struggle.The actual action.
Leading by example to stimulate the "red kinetic energy" of enterprises
With the production of epidemic prevention materials "assembly number" sounded, in order to make epidemic prevention materials reach the front line of anti-epidemic in a timely manner, "all staff act, go all out, race against time, do everything possible" has become the most authentic portrayal of the backbone of the company in party member.
On the basis of strict epidemic prevention and control measures, Sunshine Group has always maintained a sense of urgency and crisis, taking the lead in promoting the resumption of work and production, and activating the vitality of enterprise development. On February 10, 2020, Sunshine Group, as one of the first enterprises to resume production, strictly followed the prescribed conditions and highest standards for epidemic prevention and control, and resumed production order in a safe, orderly and organized manner while doing scientific prevention and control. Since the resumption of work, there have been special buses and commissioners waiting at major railway stations, and 50 chartered buses have been sent to 3 provinces and 34 counties and cities, and more than 1,200 employees have been taken back without leaving Wan Li Road. Party member, the second branch of clothing, contacted each other according to the list to help all employees go home. Despite fatigue, everyone is duty-bound to be "infected" on this road to fighting the epidemic.
Cultural Empowerment to Build Soft Power of Party Building
In the years of party building work, Sunshine Group has been innovating and exploring, seeking truth and being pragmatic, actively exploring, accumulating a lot of rich and effective experience, building a distinctive party building system and culture, and forming a cultural soft power that empowers the development of enterprises.
Party member, a model worker, leads the innovation team to create an enterprise "innovation culture". By stimulating the vitality of the innovative work team, it provides strong support for the company’s development, upgrading and transformation. On the one hand, Party construction leads and actively builds a perfect innovation management system. Enrich and expand the innovative work function of sunshine labor model, on the basis of the original task of fabric development, timely absorb the newly selected labor model in the professional fields of fabric production, clothing production and so on into the core innovation team, so that the core team has the ability to ensure that the whole process of products from raw materials to ready-to-wear professionally leads technology development, design and production, quality control, standard formulation and lean management; On the other hand, adjust and optimize the division of responsibilities of the core team.

At the same time, through the help of party building, we will create an "organizational culture" of enterprises. Enterprises actively connect with village party branches, build party building alliances, and carry out party building and co-construction work. Party organizations carry out joint construction and twinning, party member twinning, learning exchange, volunteer service, twinning and other activities. Enterprises regularly send high-quality Party building resources to the village, and organize party member from the village to visit the Party building position and enterprise development exhibition hall of Sunshine Group.

Team building is included in the strategic blueprint for winning the future.
At present, the ups and downs of the world economic situation are becoming more and more complicated, and the dual pressures of external shocks and slowing domestic demand make the development of enterprises face many challenges. With the new wave of development such as digitalization and intelligence coming, a team of high-quality party member cadres who are United and can fight well is the greatest confidence for enterprises to face the future.
On the construction of party member team, Sunshine Group attaches great importance to it.

A slower love may be happier. The boy met her with the same frequency in the exploration.

Although Liang Fei (pseudonym) has not read many books, he is a very hard-working young man. After several years of social experience, Liang Fei finally had his own career, and his family began to worry about his marriage. Although Liang Fei usually dresses up like a bachelor who has no one to take care of him, in fact, he has already met a nice girl on the scout.
The girl’s name is Linlin (a pseudonym). She is cute in appearance and not gentle in character, but she knows that she cares about people. Her biggest dream is to find a husband who loves and takes care of herself. For Linlin, a husband doesn’t need to be too handsome or too rich, but he must be a man who particularly dotes on his wife.
Liang Fei and Linlin have known each other for a long time, but both of them are traditional and conservative people, so their relationship is progressing relatively slowly. After knowing each other for three months, Liang Fei and Linlin started video chatting. After knowing each other for half a year, they met for the first time. It took them a year to know each other before they officially confirmed their relationship.
When Liang Fei just stepped into the society, he was also an affectionate teenager who really wanted to fall in love. However, after several endless love affairs, Liang Fei finally realized that the key to a reliable relationship is to meet someone with the same frequency. If you slow down a little, you may be able to see a person’s character and conduct more clearly.
Later, Liang Fei met Linlin on exploration. This time, Liang Fei didn’t rush to tell Linlin, but started with Linlin as friends. After getting to know Linlin better, Liang Fei tried to show Linlin his mind. Until this time, Liang Fei didn’t say those three words to Linlin, because he was not sure whether he liked or loved Linlin at the moment.
Linlin is a slow girl, and Liang Fei and Linlin are people with the same frequency. His slow pace left a very good impression on Linlin, and she thought Liang Fei would be a more reliable boy. So, Linlin also agreed to Liang Fei’s meeting request, and the two began to formally date.
As ordinary people, the form and process of dating are roughly the same. Liang Fei is not a romantic man, and he doesn’t know what emotional appeal is, but he is more careful. And Linlin won’t play the woman, won’t pretend to be gentle in front of the person she likes, but she really cares about Liang Fei’s life.
After Liang Fei and Linlin confirmed the relationship, Liang Fei changed a lot. He changed from a rough man dressed casually to a clean and decent boy. Even when he went out to talk about things, his business partners were more confident in their cooperation. And Linlin is really happy like a princess. She can be coaxed and used by Liang Fei when she loses her temper. She can boss Liang Fei around when she is unhappy, and she will be gently held in her arms by Liang Fei when she is uncomfortable …
Once upon a time, cars and horses were slow, and I only loved one person in my life. In fact, in a fast-paced life, slower love may be more happy. There are many single brothers and sisters who are practical and reliable. If you are single, you will definitely meet the ta who "slows down" with you.

Will "Xiaoxue" snow? | Folk Calendar Twenty-four solar terms

Cover journalist Qin Zhou
"There is a light snow all over the sky, and the coming year will be rich." On November 22 nd, the light snow in the 24 solar terms was ushered in.
"twenty-four solar term" said: "In mid-October, the rain was thin by the cold, so it condensed into snow. The words of the little ones are not prosperous. " Will it snow with light snow? Not necessarily. As a solar term reflecting climate phenomena such as precipitation and temperature, the light snow solar term is not necessarily related to the light snow in the weather.
What are the characteristics of the climate when entering the light snow solar term? The third stage of light snow: the rainbow disappears, the weather rises, the atmosphere drops, and the occlusion becomes winter. What is the meaning behind it? "There is light snow all over the sky, and there will be a bumper year in the coming year." Is there any meteorological principle behind this agricultural proverb? Let’s listen to Wang Liwei, a lecturer in the Department of Atmospheric Science, College of Agriculture, Shenyang Agricultural University, and explain it for you.
The plants were frosted. According to Xinhuanet
Is it sure to snow with light snow?
Light snow is the 20th solar term among the 24 solar terms and the 2nd solar term in winter, which falls on November 22nd or 23rd of the Gregorian calendar every year. Light snow, like rain and Grain Rain, is a solar term reflecting precipitation. Will there be some light snow on the day of the light snow solar term? Not really.
Wang Liwei, a lecturer in the Department of Atmospheric Science at the Agricultural College of Shenyang Agricultural University, explained that it is called "light snow" because "snow" here means cold, with emphasis on "small", which means it is not too cold now, even if it snows, it will not be too big. The meaning of "light snow" in the light snow solar term is different from that in the daily weather forecast. The light snow solar term is a climate concept, and the light snow in the weather forecast refers to the snow with less snowfall intensity.
During the light snow solar term, the temperature in the northern region began to drop to below zero, snow began to fall in North China, and frozen soil began to appear in Northeast China. Although there is no snowfall in the south, except for Lingnan and some coastal areas, most cities have entered winter and the weather is getting colder and colder.
Light snow three wait:
When the rainbow disappears, the weather rises, the atmosphere drops, and the occlusion becomes winter.
Phenology refers to the periodic natural phenomena such as animals, plants, birds and weather that change with the seasons. From the phenological phenomenon, the ancients divided the light snow solar terms into three periods: one is that the rainbow disappears; Second, the weather rises and the atmosphere drops; The third weather is blocked and becomes winter.
Wang Liwei introduced that once the rainbow disappeared, he said that it was no longer raining in the northern region, and it was naturally difficult to find the rainbow after the rain. Because the rainbow is formed by sunlight shining on the spherical water droplets in the air and the light is refracted and reflected. The light snow is very cold, even if there are small water droplets in the sky, they are frozen into small ice crystals or small snowflakes, so naturally it is impossible to refract and reflect the rainbow.
The ancients regarded weather and local atmosphere as important phenology to feel the phenomenon, indicating that heaven and earth can’t communicate at this time. "When the weather rises in the second season, the earth’s atmosphere drops" and "When the weather closes in the third season, it becomes winter", which means that the yang in the sky rises and the yin in the ground drops, resulting in the disharmony between Yin and Yang and the impassability between heaven and earth. It is precisely because Yin and Yang don’t meet, heaven and earth don’t connect, everything in nature drifts and loses its vitality, and trees wither, so that it is blocked into winter, that is to say, it becomes the appearance of winter.
There is a light snow all over the sky, and the coming year will be rich.
As the agricultural proverb goes, "there is light snow all over the sky, and the coming year will be rich." The ancients believed that light snow had just entered winter, and it was a good sign that it began to snow at the beginning of winter. Until next year, the rain would be even and there would be no drought or flood. Wang Liwei believes that this agricultural proverb first expresses a good wish. In addition, it also contains certain scientific truth. "Secondly, it snows when it snows lightly, which will directly freeze the pests and germs in the farmland. By next year, it will reduce the pests and diseases in the fields and ensure the healthy growth of crops. Finally, it snowed when there was a light snow, and the earth began to enter the freezing period. And this snow can be like a quilt, which can keep the crops warm, which can not only block the invasion of cold air, but also reduce the heat transfer from the soil. "
Take winter wheat as an example. Covering with snow can protect wheat seedlings from overwintering safely. Wang Liwei said that in general, the newly fallen snow has large pores and the best heat preservation effect. If the snow is kept above 3 cm, it will be very helpful for winter wheat. Moreover, the melting of snow in the coming year can replenish soil moisture, make the soil wetter, and also promote the decomposition of organic matter in the soil and improve fertility. Therefore, there are also sayings that "winter wheat is covered with three layers of quilts, and next year I sleep with steamed bread under my pillow" and "snow is auspicious for a bumper year". These agricultural proverbs are valuable experiences summed up by the ancient working people through long-term exploration. Although it is not applicable to all parts of the country, it still has high reference value for some agricultural production in the north.
Busy farming in light snow season
In ancient times, it was not cold enough to go out during the light snow season. So at this time, the ancients advocated "repairing" and "visiting friends". Even so, there are still some farming things to worry about.
Wang Liwei introduced that wheat should be hoed and crushed and suppressed in winter to ensure the safe overwintering of wheat seedlings and lay a good foundation for next spring. For winter rape, it is necessary to pay close attention to thinning seedlings, fixing seedlings, cultivating soil in intertillage and applying fertilizer reasonably to improve the cold resistance of rape. For livestock, it is necessary to catch autumn fat and prepare enough grass food, such as straw, vegetable leaves, sweet potato vines, etc. In winter grazing, it is necessary to go out late and return early, livestock and poultry houses should take measures to keep warm and keep out the cold, and fruit trees should be cut quickly. According to the characteristics of each crop, planning ahead of time is to have a good harvest in the coming year.
Rape transplanting began in some areas of Sichuan Basin in the light snow solar term, and winter wheat is also in the three-leaf stage. It is necessary to do a good job of fertilizer and water management for weak seedlings before winter, and strive to cultivate strong seedlings for overwintering. All orchards should make full use of favorable weather conditions to complete the management of overwintering orchards in time to ensure the safe overwintering of fruit trees in the later period. When planting vegetables in greenhouse, we should also pay attention to ventilation while keeping warm, so as to prevent wet-loving diseases such as downy mildew and gray mold caused by high humidity.

The fifth episode of "Zero Tolerance": The window staff of the government affairs hall embezzled 69 million public funds for three years, and went to work in Chuzhou, lived in Shanghai, and went back

In June 2021, the Intermediate People’s Court of Chuzhou City, Anhui Province auctioned the property involved in a corruption case, including a "green-eyed white dragon" game card.
It is a souvenir of an online game, and it has no practical function. However, due to the limited global distribution of 500 copies, the market price is about 100,000 yuan. Unexpectedly, only half an hour after the shooting started, the bidding was raised to 87 million yuan. Although this is only the result of netizens bidding at random with the mentality of joining in the fun, no one really pays the bill, which leads to the auction, but this game card and its former owner Zhang Yujie have attracted great attention from the society.
On January 19th, the fifth episode of the anti-corruption feature film "Zero Tolerance" was broadcast, which revealed that some financial personnel were "small officials and huge corruptions", one of which was Zhang Yujie, a staff member of Chuzhou Real Estate Registration Center in Anhui Province.
According to CCTV news reports, Zhang Yujie’s specific job is to receive citizens at the lobby window of the government service center, collect funds for house purchase custody, fill in custody agreements, and issue bank deposit certificates and fund custody certificates. After investigation, during the three years from 2016 to 2019, he embezzled more than 69 million yuan of public funds by means of not recording the collection and forging the collection facts.
In March 2020, Zhang Yujie was detained.
Compared with traditional corruption cases, the property involved in this case is very special, and there are many game equipment. And the reason why he has the idea of embezzling public funds is related to playing online games.
One day in 2016, a buyer took tens of thousands of yuan in cash to handle fund custody. As he could only pay by credit card according to the regulations, Zhang Yujie first went through the formalities for him and deposited the cash in his card, intending to help him pay by credit card the next day. Who knows that when playing games that night, I couldn’t help spending all these tens of thousands of dollars because I bought equipment.
"Charge, charge, charge to the card shows insufficient balance. At the beginning, it was the most fearful time, so I will take it slowly. I will pay it back first. I thought so at that time. " Zhang Yujie confessed, "As a result, no one has ever discovered it. At this time, I began to think that if I get a little more, it should be okay. The back is really like an avalanche, and I can’t stop at all."
"He felt that today I bought a suit of online game equipment, and I made a customs clearance on it smartly, and my life value was realized. I didn’t regard work and serving the people as my ideal. Put him in a position where he can easily get money, and it will be strange if there is no problem. " Fang Yangqing, a staff member of the Supervision Committee of the Chuzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, introduced.
He confessed that part of the money was spent on playing games, and a larger part was "basically spent on spending with his girlfriend". He said that after he started spending, he found that he couldn’t control his desire to spend. "You can’t pay the latter amount. At this time, the mentality of breaking the jar has come out again, and I feel that it has not been discovered anyway, so let’s do it first."
The investigation found that nearly 70 million yuan of Zhang Yujie’s corruption had almost been squandered by the time of the crime, and only a few were spent on games, most of which were spent on various high-end consumption.
He has made three girlfriends, bought various luxury brands of clothing, watches and jewelry for them, traveled around and experienced various luxury enjoyment together. The most expensive luxury submarine suite in a hotel in Hainan costs 100,000 yuan a night, and Zhang Yujie and a girlfriend stayed here for four consecutive nights. He naturally won’t tell his girlfriend how the money came from.
According to the discipline inspection personnel, for a long time, Zhang Yujie worked in Chuzhou during the day, but actually lived in Shanghai. After work every night, he took the high-speed train from Chuzhou to Shanghai, rented a house in Shanghai for 38,000 a month, and then took the earliest high-speed train to Chuzhou in the morning. As long as there is no money to spend, Zhang Yujie once again reached out to public funds and embezzled public funds for more than 400 times in three years.
The staff of the Supervision Committee of the Chuzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection analyzed that the dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty of the relevant personnel exposed in the Zhang Yujie case was shocking. If someone gave him a hand, or someone found it, "Hey, Xiao Zhang, what happened to this small ticket you filled out today? Even if he is reminded, it is a pity that these have not appeared. "
After investigation, Chuzhou City, from the municipal real estate transaction department to the real estate registration center and transaction management department, all failed in their duties. According to the relevant system issued by Chuzhou City in 2011, the fund custody window must be set up separately, with one person receiving, one person reviewing and one person handling vouchers and supervising each other. However, the real estate registration center has never been implemented according to the system, from the main leaders to the section chief, and no one even knows about this system.
It is precisely because he saw the extreme lack of unit management that Zhang Yujie dared to take risks again and again.
In 2019, when he planned to get married, he bought a second-hand villa in the name of his girlfriend. Without paying a penny for the house, he used his position to falsely open a set of fund custody procedures, and the house purchase was paid from the fund pool.
Subsequently, he resigned from the unit, imagining that he might get away with it. However, his illegal behavior was soon discovered and Zhang Yujie was locked up.
In November 2020, Zhang Yujie was sentenced to life imprisonment. In addition, a total of 19 party member leading cadres and public officials at all levels have different degrees of responsibility, and they have all been held accountable. Among them, the chief and deputy chief of the transaction management section have constituted the crime of dereliction of duty and were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment.

Cold knowledge! Why are you afraid of snow in skiing competitions?

03:09
There was fierce fighting in the Winter Olympics, and snow fell in Zhangjiakou on the 12th. What is the impact of snowfall on snow projects? How do each division respond to ensure the smooth progress of the event?
Reporter’s visit:
Natural snowfall is fluffy and humid.
Funa is more suitable for competition.
Xu Mengzhe, a reporter from the General Station: In fact, the impact of natural snowfall on competitions, especially snow events, is quite great. This is fresh snow, very fluffy, and it is humid.
Xu Mengzhe, a reporter from the reception desk: Look at the floor below. This is our funa. It is very hard, and our snowplow has been pressed many times. This is what meets the requirements of our athletes’ competition. Therefore, the staff are clearing the floating snow, which can ensure the normal operation of our games and reduce the probability of athletes being injured.
Winter Olympics and Cold Knowledge
Snowfall will affect the track and visibility
Why are you afraid of snow in skiing competitions? First of all, snow will affect the track. First, the temperature rise accompanied by snow will affect the temperature and quality of snow on the track, so the types and amount of waxing of athletes’ skis need to be adjusted accordingly. Second, the new snow brought by snowfall will make the surface of the track soft and increase the friction, which is not conducive to the players’ play. However, the visibility is low in snowy weather, which will affect the sight of athletes and referees. Especially for high-speed skaters, it is very dangerous. So, to what extent will the snowfall stop the game? The reporter learned from the track management that this has nothing to do with the amount of snow, but it needs the consistency of the snow surface of the track to reach a certain standard before stopping the race. There will be professionals responsible for checking and judging.
Genting ski park:
Ski doctors are all in battle
Can be transported in the first time.
On the 12th, Genting Ski Park ushered in the mixed team final of snowboarding obstacle pursuit in the snowstorm. Genting Stadium Group also conducted official training. All 138 medical staff were on duty, and on the snowy road with slope obstacle skills of more than 400 meters, four medical teams and two standby teams were waiting.
National ski jumping center leveled the track.
Snow and wind protection
Snowflakes also fell on the 12th at the National Ski-jumping Center, which is known as "the snow is pleasant". Before the snow stopped, the operation support team began to level the track. They pressed and stepped on the track to provide a safe track environment for athletes to land. Some people worry that if the snowfall is accompanied by strong winds, how can the "snow is good" be countered? It turns out that the valley of Chongli ancient poplar has a natural drop of more than 130 meters, and there are mountains on both sides that can shield or weaken the wind, and the construction of windbreak in the later period ensures that the wind speed in the take-off area of the site is below 4 meters per second.
Wind and snow blowing operation in National Cross-country Skiing Center
Clear the snow trough
On the 12th, the National Cross-country Skiing Center also held the women’s 4x5km relay race, in which the athletes used the opened snow chute. If there is snow in the snow chute, it will greatly affect the skating speed and performance of the athletes.
The mountain operation team of the venue started the emergency mechanism in advance, arranged a 20-person snow removal team to blow snow on the 5 km track to fully guarantee the operation of the event.
